The German-Jewish Economic Elite 1820-1935

This unique study makes an important contribution to our understanding of the changing problem of `Jewishness' in a German environment as it presented itself to a priveleged group of Jews. Following on from a previous volume, Jews inthe German Economy (OUP, 1987) which analysed the economic activities of the lite, it makes use largely of autobiographical material to present a detailed picture of the group's socio-cultural profile.
